STEP EIGHT: At the bottom of the receipt, add some

album information and credits, using the same font, but

this time center-aligned. I’ve obtained the information

about the album from the label’s website. You can do

the same for your chosen album.

Next, we’ll add a barcode to give it that extra receipt

feel. For this you can use any barcode unless you can

find the barcode for your chosen album from a CD or

photo. Save the barcode and then place it below the

album details. If your barcode background is white you

can just change the blend mode to Multiply near the

top left of the Layers panel.

STEP NINE: The last piece of art to add is the band name

and album name at the top of the receipt. We’ll use a

different font for this. We’re using Futura Bold but you can

use any similar font you have on your system or maybe

download a font that your particular band uses.

Type out the band name at the top of the receipt, and

set its Size to 28 pt. Make the text white, then click on

the Add a Layer Style icon at the bottom of the Layers

panel, and choose Stroke. Click on the Color swatch to

open the Color Picker, and set it to a blue color (#000099).

Click OK to close the Color Picker. Set the Size to 2 px,

the Position to Outside, and the Blend Mode to Multiply.

Click OK to apply the layer style.

Then, add the name of the album below the name of

the band in Futura Bold at around 11 pts, using the same

color that you used for the stroke.

STEP 10: Lastly, click on the top type layer in the Layers

panel, and then Shift-click the bottom layer to select all

the type layers. Press Command-G (PC: Ctrl-G) to place

them in a layer group. Double-click the name of the group

and rename it “TYPE.” Change the blend mode of the

group to Multiply to allow some of the creases to push

through the text.

And that’s how quickly you can have a cool, alternative

way of making art with things you love! n
